The End Of An Era | Saying Goodbye To Two Peas

It really is an end of an era! :(

Well said, Ali. I wish there was somewhere to say a formal farewell and thank you. 2Peas was where I first ventured into online communities and learned about scrapping, and where I made many, many friends. It will always have a special place in my heart.

Wonderful of you to post this! I also think it is a major blow for the scrapbook industry. I didn't participate in the forums too much but loved seeing the garden girl projects and videos. It is truly sad.

I so agree Ali. I'm feeling a real sadness at the thought of no more 2peas out there, and I'm grateful for what Kristina and Jeff created for all of us. I'll forever associate 2Peas with what was a magical time...that introduction to the world of today's memory keeping and the start of a hobby I treasure. Thank you Kristina and Jeff - 2Peas has had a huge impact on my life.

Beautifully put-and I completely agree!

Yes, well said! I am so very sad to know they are closing. What a terrible loss for our community:( I will certainly miss checking in with the pea community and being so very inspired by the wonderfully talented people there. At the same time, I'm very thankful for all 2 Peas brought to us during the last 15 years! Good Luck to them, I wish them well:)

I am so sad too. While I haven't been there as much lately, 2peas was the source of inspiration for my projects as I was developing a style for my memory keeping. I miss going there and browsing around and since all the stores around me have closed, I have been thinking I would probably start shopping there. Thanks for everything 2peas!!

Thanks for sharing this! I will miss 2peas so much! We were lucky to have it. I feel bad that new a scrappers won't have 2peas there to help them along their way. It's also the fracturing of the community that makes me sad.

Ahh, sorry to hear, I also used to frequent there a lot and loved Chealsea Parson's pages.

I am sad to see them close as well, although I didn't know about all the cool things that everyone else did. I am sad that I didn't know about all those things that were available on 2peas website. With this happening the same year as Archiver's closing (which was very sad and personal for me), it makes me worry about the industry as a whole. But I can't imagine it disappearing! Sorry for everyone for losing this great website!

Well said! So sorry to see them go!

My first thought on hearing the news was panic! I've been scrapbooking since I was in middle school (late 70's-early 80's), and I remember the days when there was very little product to be found! I don't want to ever return to that time. I'm so sad to see them go, & very selfishly say I hope this isn't a trend in scrapbooking! :(

I was shock and sad as well when I read the news. 2peas was my go to for supplies and inspiration. I hope they know how much they will be missed and how thankful so many of us were for so many great years. I do wish them all the best!

They will be missed! This was the first online store I shopped from over 10 years ago.

Yep. Still so grateful for you and that place.

I can't imagine life without them.

I made my very first post of my very first scrapbook page to Two Peas on Feb 14, 2005. Two Peas will be missed!

Aw, nice. I was disappointed to see that as well. I only was there the past few years, but it still was a great resource for info. Need to find a new place!

I feel very sad along with all the rest of you. I have been shopping at Two Peas from the beginning, finding inspiration with the layouts shared, taking classes, etc. Not having this resource will definitely be missed. I wish the best for Jeff and Kristina and their family in their new endeavors.

Ali, I rarely post here, but I try to see what you're up to and drop by here at least once a week. I also joined Two Peas in 2002. I remember seeing many, many of your early LOs on Two Peas. I am so grateful to Kristina and Jeff for hosting a scrapbooking site in addition to an online store that was the central online hub for scrapbookers worldwide for so many years. It has seen me through many "stages" of my adult life, and it's likely you can concur. I am extremely grateful in a very personal way to them, even though they don't "know" me and I'm just another scrapbooker. :) Heidi (who was in St Louis, MO when I first joined Two Peas all those years ago as a newlywed, then in Edmonton, Alberta Canada and now in Guelph, Ontario Canada as a wife of one and mom of 2--amazing boys) :)
